I'm not 100% sure what the actual conversion is, but I know thats not right. When you convert and fd lens to EOS you need a piece of glass in the adapter that makes up for the difference in the focal plane, it not only makes the lens longer but it reduces the max aperture.

Nikon 18-105mm kit lens
Nikon 14-24 2.8 (waiting for it to come, super stoked!)

Getting a Nikon D800 and Nikon 35mm 1.4G within the next month or two depending on how much stock my store has on the body. and then I shall buy a Nikon 85mm 1.4G

Nikon F3 + the 50mm and 28mm mentioned above.

What made you get the ZF version over the Contax one? Or doesn't the C/Y mount fit on the FS100?

Alright here's my set-up at the moment. Definitely hoping to add a lot more too it though:

Nikon D7000

Sigma 10-20, 4.0-5.6

Tamron 17-50, 2.8

Nikon 50, 1.8

Sigma 70-200, 2.8

Manfrotto 055

Clik Elite Pro Elite, This thing weighs a TON though.

It's nice to have something big enough like this to hold everything I own, flashes and stuff, chargers and a laptop for when I go on longer trips.

I'm definitely picking this up in a few days though for a more, everyday use bag:

Yeah, but it's also about 4 times as expensive. I really love the Contax versions and as far as optics go I wouldn't choose either over the other.

Almost, but went with the Cine DSLR because it has a bigger payload range. A GH2 wouldn't stand a chance on an FSB4, especially at 800mm.

Amazing. When they arrived on my doorstep I thought the box was empty (only .5 lbs heavier than 055xb legs). At 200mm (no IS) my movements are perfectly smooth with no jitters. I can touch the lens and pull focus and it still stays solid, although I think that might be because of the lens collar.

you can switch between the two. one is a 35mm, the other it a 50mm.

the 35mm is wider then the other while the 50mm it more for short telephoto.

The top lens is for looking through. The bottom lens is the one that let's the light through to take pictures. Opposed to the SLR (single lens reflex) camera's, those are called TLR (twin lens reflex) camera's.

Back in the day they didn't have a moving mirror yet, so what they did instead was make two lenses. Different from how it is nowadays.

I got one myself as well:

So wrong. But its explained in a previous post. All 120/220 film is the same (colour or black and white), its either 10 frames (120) or 20 frames (220) and before you waste money on a role that doesn't get loaded properly I'd learn how to use it.
